## What is Pulumi Cloud?

Infrastructure as Code tools like Pulumi require systems for coordinating deployments, which include concurrency control, state management, and security. For the purposes of this post, let's refer to these systems as IaC backends. There are several options for managing these backends: you can either handle them yourself, which we'll call DIY, or you can leverage [Pulumi Cloud](/product/pulumi-cloud/), available as a SaaS or self-hosted solution. With Pulumi Cloud, you gain access to a comprehensive infrastructure management platform designed to handle everything running in the cloud. This platform automates your IaC deployments, centralizes secrets management and orchestration to manage secrets sprawl effectively, and employs AI to oversee infrastructure assets and ensure compliance. On the other hand, with a DIY approach, you have the flexibility to build everything Pulumi Cloud offers or opt for a more minimalistic setup tailored to your organization's specific needs. Both options are well-supported by Pulumi, but there are distinct advantages to choosing Pulumi Cloud over the DIY method, which we'll explore further.
